Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott are said to be fighting as they film a new Robin Hood.

Sources say the pair have fallen out – and their spat is costing producers a fortune.

“The producers had to fly to London because Russell and Ridley won’t talk to each other,” an insider told a US newspaper. “Every time they stop filming, it costs the production millions.”

The $175 million movie – being made in England – has been marred by setbacks.

Actress Sienna Miller quit the film, originally titled Nottingham, but now known as the Untitled Robin Hood project, and was replaced by Cate Blanchett.

And Gladiator star Crowe reportedly said he no longer wanted to work with his long-time collaborator Scott.

It has also been claimed filming was delayed amid fights over locations.

Crowe, 45, was also reportedly ordered to go on a crash diet.

One producer is said to have quipped: “We can’t have Robin Hood looking more like Friar Tuck.”

But Universal chairman Marc Shmuger said: “Ridley and Russell asked us to visit to see more than an hour of footage they’ve already shot, which was nothing short of spectacular.”

Crowe’s publicist, Alan Nierob, said: “It’s a good scene down there. Everything is on schedule.”

Crowe recently revealed the movie’s title may be changed to Robin Hood in order to market it more easily when it is released next May.
